The flooring over the dining area are original mosaic tiles (circa 1960s), that the owner decided to preserve when he renovated the apartment. The solid timber bookshelves were made from local timber and custom fitted into the space
A blue balcony with Moroccan inspired floor tiles and verdant trees across the road, serving as the backdrop.
Living room overlooks the blue balcony, and of course greenery
This spacious common bedroom is at the front of the apartment, next to the living room and immediately to the right as you walk in from the main door
The bedroom at the back comes with an ensuite bathroom. Right outside the floor to ceiling window is a planter, allowing the owner to bring in some greenery into the space
The ensuite bathroom is tiled in pastel blue tiles and hexagonal marble mosaic, an pairing that provides an interesting contrast of textures
We end the photo tour with the common bathroom at the end of the apartment, next to the kitchen. The bathroom is painted in a similar blue as the balcony at the front, effectively connecting the two opposite ends of the apartment with a unified design scheme
As you enter the apartment, the kitchen is right to the left
There is an air well next behind the kitchen windows, providing light and ventilation to this side of the apartment
Floor Plan
Walk-up Apartment at Kitchener Road available for rent. Partial/Fully furnished option available. Note furniture in photo belongs to previous owner.
This is an eclectic walk-up apartment a stone’s throw from Farrer Park MRT. It has been lovingly renovated, with parts of the original mosaic floor tiles preserved.
The apartment comes with two separate bathrooms, one of which is ensuite. The configuration is a rarity in walk-up apartments that are modelled after shophouses built in the early 1900s. This one however also has an air well right next to the kitchen, a feature often seen in SIT flats in Tiong Bahru, which brings in additional ventilation and light. The layout of the apartment is squarish, with no wasted space, I must say. It also comes with a small storage next to the common bathroom at the back.
